Here's another example (metaphor):

|line of text
press <space><space><space>
 |line of text, indented

Why doesn't this work? Ought to work, right, in an intuitive UI?

I think you're right, it should work ;-)

<space>^3 should cause the equivalent of 'M-p Right'.

The user presses space several times to indent, the block is indented.

The idea is not _that_ bad...

In mathed, repeated spaces cycle though whitespaces of different width.
It's fun when you get used to it, but intuitive? Hardly. These are
gimmicks.
I think that is simple enough - press space again to get bigger space.
Whether bigger space is done with a bigger space entity
or consecutive small spaces is an implementation detail.
